Construction season is upon us, and work will be starting within the Cedar-Fairmount Business District for a multitude of improvements.

Pedestrian & Bicycle Path

A multi-use pedestrian and bicycle path is to be constructed along Cedar Glen Parkway from Euclid Heights Boulevard to Ambleside Drive in Cleveland.

Project Funding

This project is being funded through the Federal Highway Administration, the Ohio Public Works Commission, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.

Work Zone Shift & Issues

The work zone has shifted to the north side of Cedar Road, and pavement milling has been completed.

The paving company hit some trolley rails at the intersection of Hampstead and Cedar.

The tracks were within the top three inches of pavement, and will have to be removed.

The intersection of Hampstead and Cedar will be closed over the weekend for the removal of the rails and the repair of the road base.

The weather has not been very cooperative, but the road should be opened by Monday assuming they can pour concrete.

Intersection Closures

Perk will also be releasing a public information notice about the closure of the north side of the intersection at Cottage Grove and Cedar for about a week for the reconstruction of the bus pad that goes through the intersection.

Phase One

They intend to start mobilizing equipment and setting up the first phase of the work zone on Wednesday, March 22 (weather permitting).

Phase one of the project will be from Taylor Road to Westminster Road.

They intend to start milling pavement on March 27.

Landscape Clearing

Perk Company has also contracted Van Curen Tree Service to perform clearing work along Cedar-Glen Parkway, along with any miscellaneous tree removals throughout the Cedar-Fairmount business district.

Although they do not intend to perform any work in the business district right now, due to an environmental requirement, any trees (called out in plans) that have to be removed as part of the project must be removed prior to March 31.
